This product has not worked well for my students, but hopefully one day it will work well for my middle school class. It is high quality, so I am not afraid to let the students hold the cards until I have time to get them laminated.

This is a great in-class or group activity. It can be broken up into different categories, depending on what is being taught at the time. The cards are readable for both students and teachers. It's set up sort of like Jeopardy or Trivial Pursuit.

Great activity outside of the textbooks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Would be better if it came with a disk for the questions, September 8, 2008

I used the questions, but not the game. (PowerPoint Jeopardy) It has great questions that are broad enough that even my special ed students could be successful. For grades 5 and up.
